Teach your exercise enthusiasts to read their pulse rate at the radial artery and multiply by four to calculate beats per minute. Learners perform a variety of activities, recording their heart rates after one minute of each. Though...

Students participate in a variety of activities to introduce them to biology. In this biology lesson plan, students use microscopes, discover bacteria, view human anatomy, and more.

Cells of different organs have unique cell functions. Learn how cell functions vary depending on their roles in the body using an inquiry-based activity. Scholars analyze the cell structure to make comparisons to its functions, allowing...

This site provides basic information on human genetics and reproduction using tutorials, simulations, images and quizzes. There are also links to other worthwhile sites.

Family studies are a good way to learn about DNA profiling and RFLP analysis because students can follow the inheritance of DNA markers from one generation to the next. Students have the opportunity to do this in this activity.

In this activity, students learn the concepts and techniques behind DNA profiling of the national DNA databank. Students will then have the opportunity to collect and interpret actual STR data, and to answer one or more questions.

Students read text and color leach labeled part of the nephron in the human kidney to understand the structure and function of the kidney. This is a ready-to-use teacher resource for biology review.

Students have the opportunity to interpret actual case results from the use of the Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) method to characterize human DNA samples as applied in paternity analysis and sex crimes investigations.

Students practice a problem using DNA profile analysis to characterize human DNA samples as applied in paternity analysis and sex crimes investigations.

The survival of our ancient ancestors depended on their ability to use peripheral vision to find prey and to avoid predators. Almost everything we do-from riding a bike, to dribbling a basketball, to reading a book-depends on peripheral...

This problem set is based on a question received from a woman with red-green color blind as well as other members of her family. She wanted to know if we could help her understand how she inherited her color blindness.

This interactive site provides animations and activities in several areas of physiology. The images are simple, but clear. The accompanying text provides a good description of the process being shown.
